2001 PCV Question and spark plug
In aus they only sell the pcv valve for the only 1996 model series 6, from series 6 to 8 are the PCV valves the same. And one more thing the spark plugs come in two types.
On the website it has a trailing one and one for leading no idea what that means the plugs numbers are
BUR7EQP
BUR9EQP
And how many 02 sensors does the rx7 use 1 or 2.

7EQ is the leading plug (lower)
9EQ is the trailing plug (top)
1 02 sensor.
Here's a link to the '93 manual that can help answer many questions: http://www.rotaryheads.com/PDF/3rd_gen/
There is also a 3rd gen FAQ in this section of the forum.

Funny most cars i have own have 2 02 sensors, so the rx7 only needs one 02 sensor,
I read around some ppl use 7eq and the 9eq in the car, whys that two differnt plugs in the car, does it beneifit in anyway. Or do i just use the one spark plug type number instead of having two of each plugs in the car.
And plz tell me are the PCV valves all the same from series 6 up to 8. Cause if not its going to be hard to source it out in aus as they only supply series 6 valves and they have no idea about if it fits the 7 and 8. I just want to give my car the ultimate tune up, since you never really know how the previous owner treated it.
Are they any other tune up parts, i might need to change like fuel filter as i heared thats placed under the car, which is a stupid idea. And any other parts that i can replace.
Im also planning to making this car to a 400HP car, what do i need to do it, what turbo would you guys reconmend, im assumming the bigger turbo i got to get bigger fuel injectors is 550c right. And bigger fuel pump. What is a good size front mount intercooler for it. For the exaust system whats the best size to get 2.5 inch or 3 inch. I was looking at HKS Booste controller there latest one HKS EVC series 6. It cost a arm $750,
Are turbo timers really worth it i also look at HKS turbo timer type 1, and compared it with the other brands seems this one better.
Is it true if i convert my twin turbo to a single turbo be much better in power and performance, is it easy to do myself or is it expensive to do.
And last question i seen rx7 with dual pod filters, are they really any good compared to my K&n air filter in the box. Cause i saw price for that dual pod and its pretty dear.

Like I said, 7EQ is a leading plug and 9EQ is a trailing plug. You need two 7s and two 9s for the engine. Two spark plugs per rotor. The number is the heat index. 9 being a "colder" plug.
PCVs are fairly simple valves. Odds are going to be that they're the same for all FDs, but I have no way of knowing for sure. I'm an FC guy.
Read through threads in the single turbo section to get an idea of what is needed to convert to a single large turbo. It will require a lot of time and money, and is not "easy". Fuel, fuel control, turbo, exhaust manifold and a new downpipe will be the primary areas needed to upgrade.
Turbo timers are a waste of money with water-cooled turbos.
